2025 Honda Marine BF115 X-Type

2024 Honda Marine BF115 X-Type

The Honda BF115 Large Outboard Motor is a big performer. Thanks to its Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST®), 3-Way Cooling System and having the largest displacement in its class, it has outstanding performance. Plus, its high output alternator gives you an exceptional level of amps and the NMEA 2000 protocol allows engine data to be connected with onboard systems. The convenient and easy-to-use technology found in the Honda BF115 iST®helps to deliver a noticeably smooth and controlled boating experience. Harnessing Drive By Wire (DBW) technology, a system that relies on electronic controls for shifting and throttle (whereas a mechanical system relies on cables for shift and throttle), the Honda BF115 iST®moves past the stiffness of traditional mechanical motors. The BF115 iST®does not come with a propeller. Please consult with your Honda Dealer for propeller application assistance.

Performance and Efficiency

• The BF115's new iST® drive-by-wire system offers intuitive, precision-based technology that replaces mechanical cables with electronic controls, providing superb control and plug-and-play installation. The system offers all the features boaters are looking for, including control of multiple engines and two control stations, effortless shift and throttle control, fine tuning of throttle settings at any speed, virtual positioning and anchoring, enhanced docking and slow speed control, return-to-port capability, and simple, easy-to-understand user interface.

• Based on the Honda Accord engine platform, the BF115 benefits from years of proven Honda engineering and reliability.

• A powerful, compact 16-valve DOHC design creates more valve lift to pull in more air for increased horsepower. Low-maintenance design allows easy adjustment of the rocker arms. No multiple shims or trial-and-error adjusting needed.

Reliability and Durability

• Three separate cooling systems keep the cylinder heads running cooler for long-term durability.

• Uses visual, audio and rpm reduction circuits to alert the operator of overheating, low oil PSI, over-revving, water in fuel, battery condition, and critical engine functions.

• A patented, "Double Sealed" multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors and painted interior cooling passages, all enhance corrosion protection.

Convenience and Ease of Use

• NMEA 2000 protocols allow engine data to be interfaced with on-board systems and systems displays, such as sonar or GPS.

• The system develops 55 total amps, which after self consumption, delivers 40 “charging” amps. 30 amps at 1000 rpm and 40 amps above 2000 rpm.

• Another great advantage for fisherman is the 115’s optional push-button variable speed trolling control. Simply push up or down in 50 rpm increments from 650 rpm to 900 rpm.
